Monday:- This morning a few of us have been exploring the Lego using our creative and fine gross motor skills to build cars and houses.

Tuesday:- Lots of outdoor play, mark making with the chalk then exploring mixing water onto the chalk drawing changing the texture of the chalk.

Wednesday:- Exploring the new stairs in the garden today, creating games around them with Hoola hoops and developing our co-ordination running up and down them.

Thursday:- Today we have enjoyed making “necklaces” watching Mrs Wright threading beads onto the string. Some of us then tried by ourselves to make one by themselves finding different ways to attach the beads when it got too tricky to thread.

Friday:- Most of us have enjoyed lots of energetic role play in the garden this morning. Inside a few of us have made birthday cakes using the play dough.

Hope you have a lovely weekend. See you next week .

Welcome to our Ferryport Blog page (Morning Session)

In response to our Quick Question Time (Microsoft Forms) relating to accessing our Weekly Whiteboard information, we are now moving to  our exciting, electronic Blog page to share our weekly information.

We hope you enjoy exploring our learning and experiences over the week . . .

On Monday, children were busy building at the blocks and role playing, ‘Vets.’  Some children, have created some beautiful artwork using feathers. Maisie, Jack, Theo and Lucas were using road markings and roundabouts to support their role play on the bikes and scooter.  Louie, Conor, Hamish and Jude negotiated then successfully collaborated to create a waterpark carpark representing their ideas through imaginative roleplay.

 

On Tuesday and throughout the week, the Sneaky Shark Pair Game has been popular developing our turn taking, matching and counting skills.

Our Creative Construction System Kit has been popular too with children developing their skills in matching pieces and following step by step visual instructions to create different transport models.

On Wednesday, we all took part in our Beach Kindergarten where a variety of shells and sea glass were collected which generated discussion about texture, colour and why items were special to them. Most of the children discussed the incoming tide and the impact on the space around them.

On Thursday, many of us continued to use the Creative Construction System to  build helicopters, diggers and trucks.  Theo and Rory continued the animal role play interest from the start of the week by being dogs and giving and following instructions.

Maisie, Gracy and Lucas C have been developing their upper body strength and developing their gymnastic bar moves.
